Arresting chaos, then a feeling of graceful flow and symmetry overwhelms the senses upon viewing this chair, followed by the impression of watching a butterfly or blooming flower.  It  is assembled using a version of the more than 7000 year old technique called mortise and tenon. This method traditionally joins two pieces of wood using notches or a hole and peg to create a secure 90 degree angle. In this case long, taking inspiration form the Chines puzzle called the burr puzzle, Chinese designers You-de Chen and Chin-hua Lin assembled, in a particular order, notched pieces of delicately curving aluminum, to create this wonderful design.

(I admit I can’t vouch for it’s comfort but does that matter!)

Designboom has a wonderful right-up on this piece.
